How a Key Alzheimer’s Risk Gene May Damage the Brain Decades Early

Researchers have long known that the APOE4 variant of the APOE gene is one of the strongest genetic risk factors for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Now, a study in mice offers a possible explanation for how it begins damaging the brain long before memory problems show up. The team found

AI Uncovers Hidden 'On Switch' in Human DNA

Researchers have employed AI to decode a key genetic "on switch" embedded in human DNA. By analyzing approximately 500,000 DNA sequences, the model successfully identified the initiator—a genetic element involved in turning genes on—in about 60% of human genes. The breakthrough could enable scientists to

China Scales Up Humanoid Robot Training Efforts

China appears to be ramping up efforts to train thousands of humanoid robots, according to recent reporting. This initiative represents a significant investment in embodied AI systems—robots with human-like physical forms that can perform tasks in environments designed for people. Humanoid robots combine advances in AI, sensors, and mechanical
